JOANE CROMWELL LISTED CALIFORNIA PLEIN AIR PAINTING-LAUREL CANYON-HOLLYWOOD-L. This is a beautiful Plein Air Painting, oil on canvas, titled “Spring Reflections” by an important, listed California Female artist, Joane Cromwell. The image is important because it is a historical image, as it depicts Laurel Canyon in the 1930s on a beautiful Spring day where you can appreciate the new green growth against a rock. The painting is signed at the lower right “Joane Cromwell” in blue paint. There is the remnant of an old paper label pasted to the middle of the canvas, that may or may not have been an exhibition label or a gallery label. It is oil on canvas, on the original stretcher, and appears to be on the original frame, made of carved wood, painted a dark bronze color. Laurel Canyon is an important area of Los Angeles, it is now both a main street, Laurel Canyon Boulevard, and a neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills west. This was an important area for the homes of many Hollywood celebrities of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and in the 1960-70s, became an important neighborhood of the counterculture movement and especially the music industry. She graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1916. She moved to California in 1920, During her early years in California, she exhibited under the name Catherine Strode or Catherine Strode Blakely. After adopting the name Joane Cromwell professionally, she moved to Los Angeles and enrolled at the Otis Art Institute, graduating in 1929. In December 1932, she was listed in “California Art & Architecture” magazine’s artist directory as a resident of Los Angeles. Throughout her career, she studied with various noted artists, including Anna Hills, Edgar A. Payne, George DeMont Otis, and Jack Wilkinson Smith. She also maintained a studio in the desert near Palm Springs for some time. Joane’s early work was largely on Laguna landscapes. By the late 1920s and early 1930s, she added to her themes, with landscape as her main focus. Also a muralist, she executed works for the Santa Anita Race Track, Arcadia, California, in 1939, and for the Hollywood Park Race Track, Inglewood, California, in 1942.
